He has not won at this point. The votings are not finished until 12/20 and the result will not be announced until 1/7/13. O'Brien is leading by wide margin among fans voting, but that only selects the 15 finalists, and counts as 20% of the final vote. To decide the final winner, 55% of the votes weighing come from the College Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee. 25% of the vote weight came from polling the national media.

It's more than a joke that voters pretend that a school under sanctions doesn't even exist. I have no allegiance to OSU, but c'mon. Meyer should be getting a ton of votes (but won't), and Braxton Miller should have gotten a ton of Heisman votes (and didn't). Miller starred for an undefeated team and got three first place votes, or one less than Jadeveon Clowney.
